Hi, I have sent you an email with my contact info.

Hi there I'm in Ottawa, Canada and for sure I'd be glad to help you out. When I did my practicum we had to have a MSN locally and it was a pain.

Hi, I initially started with our Canadian online university, Athabasca, actually I attempted twice to take a class with them and gave up in frustration. The system was not user friendly, also such things as even though it was online you had to submit...

In the MSN practicum you do get a fair amount of feedback during Part A when you are developing your Learning Contract as this has to be approved in order for you to proceed to actually doing your practicum but when it comes to actually doing the pra...

I was exempted from HSC 504 as part of my MSN program as I had did my BSN with UOP. I was very fortunate in that my academic advisor's (I had a switch of advisors part way through the BSN program but kept the 2nd advisor even though there was a 2 yea...

I'm also from Canada and did both my BSN (2006) and my MSN (2010) with UOP with no regrets. I'm in the Ottawa, Ont., area and throughout both degrees often had other Canadian nurses in the same class. I have seen where it has been questioned as to wh...

Hi, I am from Canada so not sure of UOPs reputation in Southern California but I obtained by BSN from UOP in 2006 and last year July/10 finished up my MSN with UOP. While expensive I was more than happy with both programs. The learning teams can be a...

Hi Lisa, I am from Canada and did both my BSN and MSN (finished July/10) with UOP. I am not sure about the MSN program but I did find an article from Dec/10 and it stated a BSN from Kaplan cost $33,000 verses the BSN program ay UOP costing $63,000. I...

Springsong, I also did my MSN with UOP and agree you need to have Practicum A completed before starting Practicum B. I have as I am sure you have read some negatives about doing the practicum i.e you could fake having a mentor etc. The bottom line is...

I know what you mean I wanted to do my practicum on developing an internet based diabetes education program for our clinic but could not as to evaluate it there would have been patient involvement.

I know that with the instructor I had for part B we had to have met all our objectives prior to starting part B with no exceptions. In part A as part of the journal as you are doing now one of the requirements is to show where the objectives have bee...

i found that the journal was not actually given points but the instructor when you submitted would sometimes ask you to elaborate on how you actually met your objectives. i know my instructor wanted the journal to be fairly detailed. also as far as m...

Hi Slam65, I can't even tell you what this class involves as because I did my BSN with UOP I didn't have to take this class. One thing though for every class you are expected to post a little bio about yourself. Write it up once and you can pretty we...

Hi Slam65, this is the PERRLA website http://www.perrla.com/ cost is $29.95. You have a password/user name after you purchase so you can download also to more than one computer. I initially purchased the actual software from APA and hated it, I trie...

Slam65, I used PERRLA for both my BSN and MSN, would have been lost without it. Nice thing it also gives free upgrades as for example part way through my MSN APA went from the 5th to 6th ed.

RMW, good luck with the learning teams in the MSN program. I did my BSN with UOP and was lucky that most of the LT experiences were good ones. In the UOP MSN program 99% of the LT experiences were pure torture. I thought it was maybe because the MSN ...

I did not know until the last moment that UOP no longer supplied a MSN mentor if needed. In Canada unlike in the US to be a NP you do not need your MSN but can do this with a BSN. Also with our healthcare billing system which is a fee for service we ...

Yes and no if this makes sense, they give you suggestions. THE MAJOR THING TO REMEMBER IS PATIENTS CANNOT BE INVOLVED. This is due to legalities. You can involve your coworkers and say do a presentation to a group in the community i.e you developed a...

the first class nur590a is a 3 week class where you develop a learning contract on what your practicum will be about. what your objectives are and how you will accomplish them i.e. strategies. i've attached what my first objective was, my practicum w...

I'm 53 and just got my MSN this week, I've no plans to change jobs etc. just gives me the ability to expand on what I'm doing now as a diabetes clinic nurse/clinical research coordinator. For example for my practicum at the end of the MSN program I d...

Hi bizzy-b, I live in Canada and did my BSN through UOP. I contacted UOP and at the time signed an authorization for them to obtain my college transcripts here in Canada, this was done at no charge and was hassle free on my end. For my MSN I started ...

Yes, just finished this week.

Hi Scotty, I did my BSN with UOP and just this week finished my MSN with UOP. When you choose your electives with your BSN choose ones that will count towards your MSN. For example one of the required classes for the MSN was HCS587 Creating Change Wi...
